20 Years and still going strong

Today marks 20 years since I became a Certified TetraMap Facilitator. And, being someone who loves a metaphor, I wondered if my relationship with TetraMap was like a marriage, and what symbolic meaning I could find.

Is diversity stalling?

January 30, 2024 - Louise

I saw a headline for a Diversity & Inclusion Conference that grabbed my attention. “We need to face facts: D&I is stalling.“ Woah that took me by surprise – although maybe that was the point. I read on and was given information on gender pay gaps, women on boards, and D&I professions declining.

Leadership, TetraMap® and Compassion

Of the four TetraMap® perspectives, ‘compassion’ is the one that often raises an eyebrow at first glance. The surprise is understandable. Over the decades, the imagery and persona around leadership as a topic has associated it more with qualities of strength, fortitude, achievement and knowledge.

You Shall Have My Axe

As we move into a new season of opportunity, imagine what you could achieve with a commitment to spending 60% of your time crafting the ‘perfect’ learner experience. My new-style radio shows deliver far more satisfaction to me, and, more importantly to my audience.

Are you a conscious consumer… of content?

April 24, 2020 - Jan

The ability to be selective with information we access, process and accept is more important than ever before.

The first person who taught me program design was my teacher and mentor, Blair Singer, who was a student of Marshall Thurber, the creator of the program “Money & You”.  The key takeaway from Blair was that good program design requires us to explore different ways to help the participants to maximise the learning in the room.
